With their success, however, has come an increasing flux of spam. If left unchecked, spam threatens to undermine resource sharing, interactivity, and openness. The authors survey three categories of potential countermeasures: those based on detection, demotion, and prevention. Although many of these countermeasures have been proposed before for email and Web spam, the authors find that their applicability to social Web sites differs. How should we evaluate spam countermeasures for social Web sites, and what future challenges might we face?
